about

Red Institution reflects a band that has grown together over the last decade. Very different influences, playing and writing styles blend in an album of broad strokes; an eclectic, characterful album that offers hope among so many modern concerns. As is the hallmark of progressive music, classical, jazz, rock, funk, pop and folk all have their say. At once anthemic and elegiac, informative and playful, reflective and impressionistic, the album very much echoes the live experience of the band – from gentle, tender moments to the driving, urgent and purposeful.

Progressive Rock Central
“The John Hackett Band’s latest album, Red Institution, is another great work of art, led by one of the members of the best families of UK prog”

“a successful, timeless album, far removed from all current popular music, which shows the light side of jazz rock and progressive rock and serves other musical styles (funk, soul) without becoming too shallow.”

The Progressive Aspect
“The John Hackett Band is a group that is filled to the brim with so much talent that it is no wonder that they have taken their time to release the follow up to their 2017 album We Are Not Alone…but it has been well worth the wait ... superlative tracks that evidence that their combined individual talents are a perfect mix and allow this album to rise above the ordinary; although I have yet to hear anyone accuse them of being that!”

He studied music at Sheffield University, then went on the road with his brother Steve Hackett. John now has his own rock band cleverly named the John Hackett Band. ... more
